The first Rwanda removals flights will take off next month and a Conservative government will quit the European Court of Human Rights if necessary, Rishi Sunak declared in Silverstone today, where he unveiled his party’s manifesto for the 4 July general election.
Sunak said flights removing illegal migrants will depart in July and ‘if we’re forced to choose between our security and the jurisdiction of a foreign court, including the ECHR, we will always choose our nation’s security’.
The acronym ‘ECHR’ generally refers to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Conservative manifesto document states: ‘If we are forced to choose between our security and the jurisdiction of a foreign court, including the ECtHR, we will always choose our security.’
